This situation is a long time coming and I wish the protesters well and the freedoms they are demanding. Oh those pictures alone speaks truth to power. The U.S. has to be more discerning about their so-called "allies" or partners in crime.<br /><br />The implications of this is mind boggling and the current administration will have to make some decisions that will challenge the minds and welfare of not only the Egyptian people but those of us in the U.S..Carolyn Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15668984508382392168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-29066728323977385012011-01-29T19:04:55.702-05:002011-01-29T19:04:55.702-05:00People to watch are Ben- @bencnn and Do also liste...People to watch are Ben- @bencnn and Do also listen to Ivan Watson and Nic Robertson 's reports on CNN. <br /><br />Al Jeezeera and The Guardian are really covering this Uprising in a thorough way.

They follow the development closely, but no special measures around Embassy at the moment.<br /><br />Slosskamper between a group of men in the streets two blocks from the square. Sacking continues, but the stores will soon be empty.<br /><br />We see demonstrators sitting on tanks, while shouting "the army and the people stand together".<br /><br />The rods now of our hotel, and barrikaderer doors. No drop in again if they go out on the street.<br /><br />It burns powerful two blocks from where we stand.
